Current read. Sorry I can't recall where on here I came across it, but I'm glad my library has it. Strong rec. @kcarterjackson.bsky.social
L-R is... Chico? Groucho? Harpo, Zeppo. I can't tell, they are so young here.
A big fat "Who cares if the Clintons are in the files?" The awful truth is Trmp may get away with burning it all down and taking us with him to keep the Epstein files from being released. Good grief.
Hard to figure that I asked for a Wilma Flintstone plastic wig for Christmas, but here we are. The youngest of seven kids, this makes me appreciate my parents even more because they really leaned in on some pretty bonkers presents.
To all the caregivers this Thanksgiving Day, esp those caring for someone with dementia (iykyk), I send warm fuzzies.
"One of those arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was Martin Morales, a Montgomery resident who owns Martin Morales Wood Flooring Inc." I had no idea flooring craftsmen were such dangerous criminals, but there you go.
I read first thing in the morning now. This priority works for me. Tense today: word reached Octavius that Caesar has been murdered.
I'm a little more than halfway through North Woods and enjoying the ride. Is it just me or is this one of the most memento mori novels circulating these days?
Going in. Third attempt but this will be the one. Spouse's fav "reread" book. 1,461 pages and intrigue starts from the jump. Per spouse I will be fine if I can just get to the part where Dantès is imprisoned. Will this be another Ulysses? I could never get beyond page 100 in that. Loading carbs.
Finished reading and am released this sunny morning as if from a trance. Oh his control of language! Me being closer to life's landing than its take-off afforded me awareness and foresight not possible if I read this years ago. Age does not lessen the blows, however. Strong recommend.
As Curly Howard would say, "The mail's here! The mail's here!" I'm excited to read Detective Novel and King Ludd's Rag. (The black sticker's lettering isn't picked up in my photo, but know that it says in glossy black: "And down with all kings but King Ludd!"
The Princess Bride is a longtime fav movie of mine. Spouse recently bought the book and said you gotta read it. Opens with the 30th anniversary introduction by Goldman (book was originally published 1973). What a tonic! A boon!
I get my reading in first thing. This morning was "The Rib and the Clay" by @johnchrostek.com via @malarkeybooks.bsky.social. This story should be slipped into an art history syllabus just to mess with people. I laughed. A lot. Should be an audio version, too.
Started Mother Noise this morning. Got a copy from my library. Knocked me a bit off balance. Thankful I came across it. @cindyhouse.bsky.social
"My God, to read without joy is stupid." John Williams Thankful my library had a copy of Stoner. First time reader of Williams. This hits so different at my age. Love.
